I have taken more pics with this, I am hoping they will clarify what I am doing. I have almost all of the blocks together, been working on this a good deal of the day. Hung it up on the design board, and realized that I skipped one entire row....had to rip it all out....what a pain.
putting two blocks together, the backings are right sides together, the quilt top is on the outside. Matching them up and putting pins at the edges of the block top.

Sewing right at the edge of the block tops. Yes, I am using the SID foot to help keep me right on the very edge. This is sewn from top to bottom, not just catching the block top.

This shows the backing flaps that are now on the top of the quilt.

Here I have folded one of the flaps TO the edge of the block, then folded it again so it is ON the block.

Both sides are now folded on to their respective blocks.

Now sew on the folded flap - which is now the 'sashing', just enough to catch it. I still use my SID foot, just moved the needle to the left. On my Jamone it is from 3.5 to 1.8. I hope these pics clarify my way of QAYG. I will have more pics later of the quilt all together as well as the back. That has a separate pattern all of its own, making this quilt reversible.
